Hudley et al. (2023) stresses the importance that educators must recognize the ways in which language and race are interrelated and intertwined with culture, community, and identity.  

"There is a clear need for educators to receive more resources, training, and support about race, culture, community, and identity in the classroom—and their intersections with language. Many educators want to more deeply understand what race and ethnicity are. We must engage with Blackness to dismantle anti-Blackness, and language is a key part of these efforts."
